Karen Gavigan, Kat Kan, Esther Keller, and Christina Taylor, joined LibraryPass’ John Shableski for a lively and insightful conversation about the comics medium and why it has become so popular, particularly amongst younger readers.
Join us on Tuesday, November 24th at 7pm ET (4pm PT) for this free webinar where our panel of distinguished educators and librarians—Karen Gavigan, Christina Taylor, Kat Kan, Esther Keller—will discuss how the comics medium works and why it has become so popular, particularly amongst younger readers. They’ll answer the questions librarians and educators frequently have about comics, as well as those asked by parents who don’t believe comics count as “real” reading.
Jerry Craft, Tracy Edmunds, Grace Ellis, Talia Hurwich, Rossie Stone, Anthony Zuiker, and John Shableski have a lively conversation about developing empathy with comics and graphic novels.
How do we learn about people’s lives we’ve never met? Books have introduced every generation to unfamiliar cultures and experiences, expanding our understanding and appreciation of the diverse world we live in. At their best, the people we meet and places we visit in books can help us develop empathy for ourselves and others by providing immersive perspectives of other experiences.
We curate high-interest, immersive digital content that helps schools and libraries expand and diversify their collections—without breaking their materials budgets.
Give your readers unlimited, simultaneous access to a diverse collection of digital comics, graphic novels, and manga from dozens of library-friendly publishers.
